This weekend will be your last chance to see Cleveland/Action, our final =
production of 2003!   Below is what the critics have had to say about =
it:

Tony Brown of The Plain Dealer: "Treat yourself to tasty kookiness in 2 =
one-acts...Here's to a resurgence of one-act plays, the latest evidence =
of which, a heaping helping of counterculture kookiness titled =
Cleveland/Action, opened over the weekend courtesy of the clever-hip =
convergence-continuum company. . . . Played with just the right degree =
of intellectual nuttiness, Cleveland/Action radiates a goofy, =
avant-garde charm that makes it a nearly perfect cerebral alternative to =
the usual, gloppy holiday fare."

Christine Howey of Scene Magazine: ". . . now and then, we need to be =
yanked out of our complacent reliance on the arc of the commonplace, and =
there are no two plays more suited to that task than Sam Shepard's =
Action and Mac Wellman's Cleveland, now being produced by the small but =
consistently invigorating convergence-continuum group. . . . Both plays, =
directed with wit by Clyde Simon and performed with gusto, invite the =
audience to drop their routine expectations and experience ideas and =
language from a fresh perspective.  It's hard to ask more of an evening =
of theatre than that."

James D'Amico of The Free Times re Cleveland: "Director Simon's =
production is crisp and energetic. and profits from the razor-sharp =
whimsy of Lucy Bredeson-Smiths's mom and Allyson Rosen's alternately =
pubescent and poisonous Joan."   Re Action:  "equally vigorous and =
active, as befits the theater's announced dedication to a physical =
style."
